CPU Overclocking

[dc10nc]

System Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core @ 2.0 Ghz overclocked to 2.4Ghz
2 Gigs Ram
500 Watt Power supply
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
ASUS A8V-XE Mobo
NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT swapped out with a GeForce 9600GT overclocked edition.

I just recently updated my video card as listed above. For some reason my computer will not run any games with the new video card and the over clocked CPU. The computer ran fine before with the 8500 GT and the over clocked CPU, but with the 9600GT the computer locks up in game.

Under a full load using Burn it 2008 the CPU temp never went above 52 degrees C. The new video card temp never goes above 48 degrees C.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1.)well, are there power plugs on the video card, ... did you plug in the power plug into the video card?
2.) get the latest drivers for the vid card. i think thay are on Ver. 181.xx
3.) check the bios and make sure all the settings are set right... like the v-ram settings, Read&Wright setting to the bus slot and etc...

thats all i can think of right now...

Well, some Bios's have options, of how much Memory is dedicated to the video card. (Not assing memory, but giveing the full bandwith access) and what your card has... Example 512mb or 768 etc... that sould be set in the BIOS settings for the vid card.

and other things like , the Read and Wright for the AGP or PCI - E slot, ... Usually its labeled like 16x16 or 8x8 x / or something like that, depends what BIOS you have... and how advance your board is... if the board was really cheap, then you may not have these settings... but if it was few hundred bucks, then i would say, it should have all sorts of options of overclocking every slot on the board... Example: PCI-e will have overclocking options, AGP will have overclocking options, North bridge will have OC options, South Bridge will have OC options, CPU, MEM, and ETC... and set timeings for the memory , etc...

well i hope this helped... if not, ill try to detail it out more later...

good luck
